I hosted a holiday party and a guest said to me that she has seen my silver sequin Alexis Mabille trouser on me before. Yes, she had and I was repeating. The Duchess of Cambridge being a good English woman has repeated well-documented outfits with pride. Kate, the fashion icon of many around the world has made it very IN to repeat. When good design does not date one cannot toss out the piece as in this case my Alexis Mabille trousers (a favorite designer of Carla Bruni) It has to be worn and worn again. I find this to more to be the case as with the trend of the “vintage look” is repeating someone else original look so why not your own. For 2012 take a look back into your closet to find, restyle, accessorize an old favorite to wear it as Kate would.
